Orctober!

We're back again!

I took a little hiatus over the summer to work on another project (something that is becoming an annual tradition of sorts), but if there's one thing you should know about this blog it's that it will. not. die.

And it's not too late for an Orctober model!

 

And a group shot of all the characters together.

The Killaboss on Gnashtoof is the last of the characters from the Dominion box set to be completed. He sat in an awkward, half-finished limbo over the summer so I'm delighted he can finally join the others. I hope you agree they're a handsome bunch (for greenskins).

Expect plenty more to appear here over the next few weeks. I've got another big project I'm wrapping up, a smaller project that needs finishing touches, and an announcement about something that rhymes with shmomission shmainting. (Good luck reading that one.)

Until then, happy painting! 

Eldar Guardians

It's been a little while since I've posted. Painting has slowed a bit but I still have a backlog of photos to share. This is one of them.

I started painting these guys ages ago but only finished them in April. I have a masochistic streak so every gem that wasn't on the gun was painted as a gem. I am beginning to regret this approach as I have a lot of infantry still to paint. Sadly, there is no going back now.

Different angle of the second group.

 

Given these are just rank and file, I didn't want to do 20 close up shots, so I just picked a couple of the more interesting ones. 

There's still the weapon platforms to do. When I get them finished and get a HQ done up (that farseer does not actually belong to my army), I'll do a family photo of the whole lot.

Until next time, happy painting! 

Orcs (Orruks)

I had the pleasure of painting some of the new swamp orc characters. When they first came out I wasn't a fan. I felt the sculpts deviated too much from the original, cartoonish, fantasy orcs I grew up with and love. I still do, but the new orcs have grown on me a little, and these were fun to paint in almost exclusively oils.

Anyway, hope you like 'em.

Until next time, happy painting!
